I was wondering, when FreeBSD swaps memory to the hard disk, does it swap a 
program altogether for being idle, or does it swap individual idle values 
within a program.  I was wondering because I have a program which will be 
constantly active, an IRC Services program.  And it will contain memos and 
registered user information.  Which would not be actively used.  So would 
this idle memory within the program be swapped?

Thank you for your help.
